Oh, dude, OK … yes, Bush has already been successful against us. It’s already been done.

And as to a new president being able to undo them … well, actually, Congress can undo them, but … it’s not looking promising for us. Bush has put through more than 100 of these midnight regulations … and on a scale of importance from 1 to 100, poker ranks about 92.

Dan,

I wanted details of whether Bush would be successful and whether Obama would be able to change it if he was. The word I hear is that people are skeptical of Bush’s chances. And even if he did, new president’s can change any last minute legislative changes in last 60 days.

Lineup for Saturday:

Sam Simon, Daniel Negreanu, Joe Hachem, Patrik Antonius, Antonio Esfandiari, Nick Cassavetes, Phil Laak and Howard Lederer

Dan would know better if other players get switched in later in the day, if that happened.

Are you there again today? Did Phil Ivey make it? Is the lineup, as reported, Peter Eastgate, Doyle Brunson, Ivan Demidov, Phil Ivey, Barry Greenstein, David Benyamine, and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies?

What was the lineup yesterday?

***Ask them if they have knowledge of Bush trying to push through last minute legislation affecting online poker.***

Dale, where have you been? I can already tell you, yes, they do have knowledge of this. Anyone who reads Pokerati would!

Why isn’t Jen Harmon playing this season? First one she hasn’t, isn’t it?

Is Henry Orenstein there? He didn’t make it the WSOP final to accept his Hall of Fame honor, and I thought Mori Eskandani said that he wasn’t feeling well. Just wondering if he’s doing alright.

Also, did Tom Dwan ever sign with Full Tilt as was rumored?

Actually Phil Hellmuth isn’t here … and apparently he backed out of playing tomorrow.

If you see Phil Hellmuth, ask him about this:

(Phil won a hand this morning with the worst hand — at showdown). I’ll be making a post about this shortly
